4 General 

4.1 Relation between the MSR specification and the single-RAT 
specifications 

The requirements for MSR are in most parts specified in the present document, while many requirements are also 
specified through normative references to the respective single-RAT specifications in [2], [3], [4] and [5]. The resulting 
set of requirements for an MSR BS can be divided into three types, depending on their relation to the single-RAT 
specifications: 

1 . Generic MSR requirement: A common generic requirement is specified in the present document that applies 
for all RATs and for BS configured for both multi-RAT and single-RAT operation. In some cases, there are 
additional requirement(s) that apply only in some Band Category. There are no references to the single-RAT 
specifications. 

2. Generic MSR requirement, with additional single-RAT requirements: A common generic requirement is 
specified in the present document which applies as in point 1 . In addition some single RAT requirement(s) apply, 
included by normative reference(s) to the single-RAT specification(s). 

3. Single-RAT only requirements: In this case, no common generic requirement is defined. The existing single- 
RAT requirement applies for each RAT, included by normative reference(s) to the single-RAT specification(s). 

The applicability of each requirement is described in clause 5. 

4.2 Relationship between minimum requirements and test 
requirements 

The Minimum Requirements given in this specification make no allowance for measurement uncertainty. The test 
specification TS 37.141 [10] defines Test Tolerances. These Test Tolerances are individually calculated for each test. 
The Test Tolerances are used to relax the Minimum Requirements in this specification to create Test Requirements. For 
some requirements, including regulatory requirements, the test tolerance is set to zero. 

For MSR single-RAT requirements, the principle used to define the test requirement remains from the existing 
specifications. 

For both MSR single-RAT and multi-RAT requirements, the measurement results returned by the Test System are 
compared - without any modification - against the Test Requirements as defined by the shared risk principle. The 
Shared Risk principle is defined in ITU-R M.1545 [9]. 

4.3 Base station classes 

The requirements presented in the present specification apply to MSR Base Stations intended for general purpose 
applications. MSR BS requirements for general purpose applications are based on Wide Area scenarios. 

For GSM/EDGE operation of an MSR BS, a BS intended for general purpose applications corresponds to a normal 
BTS, including Multicarrier BTS classes. MSR requirements for multi-RAT operation only apply for the highest 
GSM/EDGE static power step. 

Other base station classes are for further study. The requirements for these may be different than those for general 
purpose applications, or not applicable at all. 



4.4 Regional requirements 



Some requirements in the present document may only apply in certain regions either as optional requirements, or set by 
local and regional regulation as mandatory requirements. It is normally not stated in the 3 GPP specifications under what 
exact circumstances that the requirements apply, since this is defined by local or regional regulation.

Table 4.4-1 lists all requirements in the present specification that may be applied differently in different regions. There 
are additional regional requirements that may apply for single-RAT operation of an MSR BS. These are referenced

4.5 Operating bands and Band Categories 

MSR requirements are applicable for band definitions and band numbering as defined in the specifications 

TS 45.005 [2], TS25.104 [3], TS 25.105 [4] and TS 36.104 [5]. For the purpose of defining the MSR BS requirements, 

the operating bands are divided into three band categories as follows: 

- Band Category 1 (BCl): Bands for E-UTRA FDD and UTRA FDD operation 

- Band Category 2 (BC2): Bands for E-UTRA FDD, UTRA FDD and GSM/EDGE operation 

- Band Category 3 (BC3): Bands for E-UTRA TDD and UTRA TDD operation 

NOTE: For UTRA TDD, requirements in the present document cover the 1.28 Mcps UTRA TDD option. 

The paired and unpaired bands for the three Band Categories are shown in Table 4.5-1 and 4.5-2, together with the 
corresponding E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/EDGE band designations. In the present specification, the operating band of 
an MSR Base Stations is designated using the E-UTRA band number according to the tables.

4.6 Channel arrangement 



4.6.1 Channel spacing 

The GSM/EDGE carrier spacing is 200 kHz [5]. 

The nominal UTRA FDD channel spacing is 5 MHz. The nominal channel spacing is 1.6MHz for the 1.28 Mcps UTRA 
TDD Option. These can be adjusted to optimise performance in a particular deployment scenario [2,3]. 

In E-UTRA the spacing between carriers will depend on the deployment scenario, the size of the frequency block 
available and the channel bandwidths. The nominal channel spacing between two adjacent E-UTRA carriers is defined 
as following: 



Nominal Channel spacing = (BWchannei(i) + BWchannei(2))/2 

ths of the two respective E 
spacing can be adjusted to optimize performance in a particular deployment scenario [4]. 



where BWchannei(i) and BWchannei(2) ^Tc the channel bandwidths of the two respective E-UTRA carriers. The channel 



4.6.2 Channel raster 

The GSM/EDGE channel raster is 200 kHz for all bands [5]. 

The UTRA FDD and TDD channel raster is 200 kHz for all bands, which means that the centre frequency must be an 
integer multiple of 200 kHz. In addition a number of additional centre frequencies are specified according to [2,3], 
which means that the centre frequencies for these channels are shifted 100 kHz relative to the general raster. 

The E-UTRA channel raster is 100 kHz for all bands, which means that the carrier centre frequency must be an integer 
multiple of 100 kHz [4]. 

4.6.3 Carrier frequencies and numbering 

The carrier frequencies and corresponding numbering is defined for each RAT in the respective specifications TS 
36.104 [4] TS25.104 [2], TS 25.105 [3] and TS 45.005 [5]. In the context of MSR, the frequency numbering scheme for 
each RAT will remain. 



£75/ 



3GPP TS 37.1 04 version 9.1 .0 Release 9 1 6 ETSI TS 1 37 1 04 V9.1 .0 (201 0-04) 

The E-UTRA carrier frequency numbering (EARFCN) is defined in subclause 5.7 of TS 36. 104 [4]. 

The UTRA FDD carrier frequency numbering (UARFCN) is defined in subclause 5.4 of TS 25. 104 [2]. 

The UTRA TDD carrier frequency numbering (UARFCN) is defined in subclause 5.4 of TS 25.105 [3]. 
- The GSM/EDGE carrier frequency numbering (ARFCN) is defined subclause 2 of TS 45.005 [5]. 
NOTE: The numbering schemes for UTRA FDD and TDD are not coordinated, while both are called UARFCN.

Note 1 : For some requirements in BS configured for multi-RAT operation, there is no general 
MSR multi-RAT requirement. Instead, the requirement is defined by the respective 
single-RAT requirement for each RAT supported by the BS as referenced in the table. 



5.4 Inclusion of requirements by reference 

Many requirements in the present specification are not explicitly stated in the clauses listed in Tables 5.3-1, 5.3-2 and 
5.3-3, but are instead included by reference to the respective single-RAT specifications. Each reference is normative 
and identifies the clause where the requirement is specified.

In some cases, the referenced clause may contain requirements that for different reasons do not apply for an MSR base 
station. It is in those cases stated that 'applicable parts of the referenced clause apply. What parts are applicable is 
determined by the scope of the MSR specification. For example: 

In a referenced clause including requirements for multiple operating bands, only requirements for bands listed in 
the present document apply. 

In a referenced clause that includes requirements for different types of base stations, only requirements for Wide 
Area BS apply in case of UTRA. For GSM/EDGE, only requirements for Multicarrier BTS and/or Normal BTS 
apply.

Transmitter characteristics 



6.1 



General 



Unless otherwise stated, the requirements in clause 6 are expressed for a single transmitter antenna connector. In case of 
transmit diversity, DB-DC-HSDPA or MIMO transmission, the requirements apply for each transmitter antenna 
connector. 

A BS supporting DC-HSDPA and DB-DC-HSDPA transmits two UTRA FDD cells simultaneously. A BS supporting 
DC-HSDPA transmits two UTRA FDD cells simultaneously on adjacent carrier frequencies. 

Unless otherwise stated, the transmitter characteristics are specified at the BS antenna connector (test port A) with a full 
complement of transceivers for the configuration in normal operating conditions. If any external apparatus such as a TX 
amplifier, a filter or the combination of such devices is used, requirements apply at the far end antenna connector (test 
port B). 

Unless otherwise stated the requirements in subclause 6 applies at all times, i.e. during the Transmitter ON period, the 
Transmitter OFF period and the Transmitter transient period.

6.5.3 Time alignment between transmitter branclnes 

In Tx Diversity, spatial multiplexing and MIMO, signals are transmitted from two or more antennas. These signals shall 
be aligned. The time alignment error for transmission is specified as the delay between the signals from two antennas at 
the antenna ports. 

For dual cell transmissions (DC-HSDPA and DB-DC-HSDPA)) in UTRA FDD, the time alignment error is defined as

6.6 Unwanted emissions 

Unwanted emissions consist of out-of-band emissions and spurious emissions [6]. Out of band emissions are unwanted 
emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the modulation process and non-linearity in the 
transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted 
transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission, intermodulation products and frequency conversion 
products, but exclude out of band emissions. 

The out-of-band emissions requirement for the BS transmitter is specified in terms of an Operating band unwanted 
emissions requirement that defines limits for emissions in the downlink operating band plus the frequency ranges 10 
MHz above and 10 MHz below the band. Emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions 
requirement. 

There is in addition a requirement for occupied bandwidth and an ACER requirement applicable for some RATs. 

6.6.1 Transmitter spurious emissions 

The transmitter spurious emission limits apply from 9 kHz to 12.75 GHz, excluding the frequency range from 10 MHz 
below the lowest frequency of the downlink operating band up to 10 MHz above the highest frequency of the downlink 
operating band. Exceptions are the requirement in Table 6.6.1.3.1-2 that apply also closer than 10 MHz from the 
downlink operating band. 

The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered (single carrier or multi-carrier). It applies for 
all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer's specification. Unless otherwise stated, all requirements are 
measured as mean power (RMS).

Additional spurious emissions requirements 



These requirements may be applied for the protection of system operating in frequency ranges other than the BS 
downlink operating band. The limits may apply as an optional protection of such systems that are deployed in the same 
geographical area as the BS, or they may be set by local or regional regulation as a mandatory requirement for an 
operating band. It is in some cases not stated in the present document whether a requirement is mandatory or under what 
exact circumstances that a limit applies, since this is set by local or regional regulation. An overview of regional 
requirements in the present document is given in subclause 4.4. 

Some requirements may apply for the protection of specific equipment (UE, MS and/or BS) or equipment operating in 
specific systems (GSM/EDGE, UTRA, E-UTRA, etc.) as Hsted below.

NOTE 1 : As defined in the scope for spurious emissions in this subclause, the co-existence requirements in 
Table 6.6.1.3.1-1 do not apply for the 10 MHz frequency range immediately outside the downlink 
operating band (see Tables 4.5-1 and 4.5-2). Emission limits for this excluded frequency range may be 
covered by local or regional requirements. 

NOTE 2: The table above assumes that two operating bands, where the frequency ranges in Table 4.5-1 or 

Table 4.5-2 would be overlapping, are not deployed in the same geographical area. For such a case of 
operation with overlapping frequency arrangements in the same geographical area, special co-existence 
requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications. 

NOTE 3: For the protection of DCS1800, UTRA Band III or E-UTRA Band 3 in China, the frequency ranges of the 
downlink and uplink protection requirements are 1805 - 1850 MHz and 1710 - 1755 MHz respectively. 

The following requirement may be applied for the protection of PHS. This requirement is also applicable at specified 
frequencies falling between 10 MHz below the lowest BS transmitter frequency of the downlink operating band and 10 
MHz above the highest BS transmitter frequency of the downlink operating band. 

The power of any spurious emission shall not exceed:

Co-location with other base stations 



These requirements may be applied for the protection of other BS receivers when GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, 
GSM850, UTRA FDD, UTRA TDD and/or E-UTRA BS are co-located with a BS. 

The requirements assume a 30 dB coupling loss between transmitter and receiver. 

NOTE: For co-location with UTRA, the requirements are based on co-location with Wide Area UTRA FDD or

NOTE 1: As defined in the scope for spurious emissions in this subclause, the co-location requirements in 

Table 6.6.1.4.1-1 do not apply for the 10 MHz frequency range immediately outside the BS transmit 
frequency range of a downlink operating band (see Tables 4.5-1 and 4.5-2). The current state-of-the-art 
technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location with other system on adjacent 
frequencies for 30 dB BS-BS minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering 
solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [7]. 

NOTE 2: The table above assumes that two operating bands, where the corresponding BS transmit and receive 
frequency ranges in Table 4.5-1 or Table 4.5-2 would be overlapping, are not deployed in the same 
geographical area. For such a case of operation with overlapping frequency arrangements in the same 
geographical area, special co-location requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP 
specifications. 

NOTE 3: Co-located TDD base stations that are synchronized and using the same operating band can transmit 
without special co-locations requirements. For unsynchronized base stations, special co-location 
requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications. 

6.6.2 Operating band unwanted emissions 

Unless otherwise stated, the Operating band unwanted emission limits are defined from 10 MHz below the lowest 
frequency of the downlink operating band to the lower RF bandwidth edge located at Fbw rf.iow and from the upper RF 
bandwidth edge located at Fbw RF.high up to 10 MHz above the highest frequency of the downlink operating band. 

The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered (single RAT or multi-RAT, single carrier or 
multi -carrier) and for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer's specification, except for GSM/EDGE 
single RAT operation. The requirements in TS 45.005 [5] as defined in subclause 6.6.2.3 apply to an MSR Base Station 
for GSM/EDGE single RAT operation in Band Category 2. 



6.6.2.1 



General minimum requirement for Band Categories 1 and 3 



For a BS operating in Band Category 1 or Band Category 3, emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in 
Table 6.6.2.1-1 below, where: 

Af is the separation between the RF bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring 
filter closest to the carrier frequency. 

f_offset is the separation between the RF bandwidth edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter. 

f_offsetn,ax is the offset to the frequency 10 MHz outside the downlink operating band. 

Afn,ax is equal to f_offsetn,i,x minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

sensitivity and efficiency, the resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. 
When the resolution bandwidth is smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be 
integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the 
measurement bandwidth. 

NOTE 3: The requirement is not applicable when Af^ax < 10 MHz. 

6.6.2.2 General minimum requirement for Band Category 2 

For a BS operating in Band Category 2, emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in Table 6.6.2.2-1 and 
6.6.2.2-2 below, where: 

Af is the separation between the RF bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3dB point of the measuring 
filter closest to the carrier frequency.

in Band Category 2: 

Spectrum due to the modulation and wide band noise, applicable parts of subclause 4.2.1.1, 4.2.1.2, 4.2.1.3-a2, 
4.2. 1 .3-b2, 4.2. 1 .3-c2 and 4.2. 1 .4.2. 

Spectrum due to switching transients, applicable parts of subclause 4.2.2. 1-b. 

Emission requirement for frequency offsets of between 2 and 10 MHz outside relevant transmit band, applicable 
parts of subclause 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.1. 

Intra BTS Intermodulation, applicable parts of subclause 4.7.2, 4.7.2. 1-b, 4.7.2.3-b and 4.7.2.3-c.

6.6.2.4 



Additional requirements 



In addition to the requirements in subclauses 6.6.2.1 and 6.6.2.2, the BS may have to comply with the applicable 
emission limits established by FCC Title 47 [8], when deployed in regions where those limits are applied, and under the 
conditions declared by the manufacturer. 

In certain regions, the following requirements may apply to a TDD BS operating in BC3 in the same geographic area 
and in the same operating band as another TDD system without synchronisation. For this case the emissions shall not 
exceed -52 dBm/MHz in the downlink operating band except in: 

The frequency range from 10 MHz below the lower RF bandwidth edge to the frequency 10 MHz above the 
upper RF bandwidth edge. 

NOTE 1 : Local or regional regulations may specify another excluded frequency range, which may include 
frequencies where synchronised TDD systems operate. 

NOTE 2: TDD base stations that are synchronized and operating in BC3 can transmit without these additional co- 
existence requirements. 

In certain regions the following requirement may apply for protection of DTT. For a BS operating in Band 20, the level 
of emissions in the band 470-790 MHz, measured in an 8 MHz filter bandwidth on centre frequencies FfiUer according to 
Table 6.6.2.4-4, shall not exceed the maximum emission level Prm.n declared by the manufacturer. This requirement 
applies in the frequency range 470-790 MHz even though part of the range falls in the spurious domain.

Note: The regional requirement is defined in terms of EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power), which is 

dependent on both the BS emissions at the antenna connector and the deployment (including antenna gain 
and feeder loss). The requirement defined above provides the characteristics of the base station needed to 
verify compliance with the regional requirement. Compliance with the regional requirement can be 
determined using the method outlined in Annex G of TS 36.104 [4]. 



6.6.3 Occupied bandwidth 

The occupied bandwidth is the width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency 
limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage j3/2 of the total mean transmitted power. See 
also ITU-R Recommendation SM.328 [11]. 

The value of (3/2 shall be taken as 0.5%. 

The requirement applies during the transmitter ON period for a single transmitted carrier. 

The minimum requirement below may be applied regionally. There may also be regional requirements to declare the 
occupied bandwidth according to the definition in the present clause. 

6.6.3.1 Minimum requirement 

The occupied bandwidth shall be less than values listed in Table 6.6.3.1-1.

Transnnitter intermodulation 



The transmit intermodulation requirement is a measure of the capability of the transmitter to inhibit the generation of 
signals in its non linear elements caused by presence of the own transmit signal and an interfering signal reaching the 
transmitter via the antenna. The requirement applies during the transmitter ON period and the transmitter transient 
period. The transmitter intermodulation level is the power of the intermodulation products when an interfering signal is 
injected into the antenna connector. 

6.7.1 General minimum requirement 



The transmitter intermodulation level shall not exceed the unwanted emission limits in subclause 6.6 in the presence of 
a wanted signal and an interfering signal according to Table 6.7.1-1 for BS operation in BCl, BC2 and BC3. The 
measurement may be limited to frequencies on which third and fifth order intermodulation products appear, considering 
the width of these products.

positions fall within the frequency range of adjacent downlink 
operating bands in the same geographical area. In case that 
none of the interfering signal positions fall completely within 
the frequency range of the downlink operating band, 
TS 37.141 [10] provides further guidance regarding 
appropriate test requirements.

Receiver characteristics 



7.1 



General 



The requirements in clause 7 are expressed for a single receiver antenna connector. For receivers with antenna diversity, 
the requirements apply for each receiver antenna connector. 

For blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the 
assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency received and positive offsets of the interfering signal apply 
relative to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency received . 

A BS supporting DC-HSUPA receives two UTRA FDD cells simultaneously on adjacent carrier frequencies. 

Unless otherwise stated, the receiver characteristics are specified at the BS antenna connector (test port A) with a full 
complement of transceivers for the configuration in normal operating conditions. If any external apparatus such as a RX 
amplifier, a filter or the combination of such devices is used, requirements apply at the far end antenna connector (test 
port B). 

Unless otherwise stated the requirements in clause 7 apply during the base station receive period.

outside the uplink operating band. 

For a BS operating in band 13 the requirements do not apply when the interfering signal 

falls within the frequency range 768-797 IVIHz. 

Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements 

above. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for 

co-location of UTRA TDD or E-UTRA TDD with E-UTRA FDD on adjacent frequencies for 

30dB BS-BS minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions 

that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [7]. 

In China, the blocking requirement for co-location with DCS1800 and Band III BS is only 

applicable in the frequency range 1 805-1 BSOIVIHz. 



7.6 Receiver spurious emissions 



The receiver spurious emissions power is the power of emissions generated or amplified in a receiver that appear at the 
BS receiver antenna connector. The requirements apply to all BS with separate RX and TX antenna ports. In this case
